(continue 2)This contest has been a great learning experience for me. Anyone who is interested in making a slideshow or videos should create one and enter this contest. You can learn so much and improve on any future projects. Also help is readily available, there is plenty of people within this group that can help you overcome your obstacles.
It is a great learning experience you are right! Anyway, I enjoyed everyone's videos so very much! This is free entertainment and it's awesome to see people expressing themselves in such a cool and creative way! God Bless Sam! He's the one that started it all.
pictureshows2, i completely agree with you, but i think that the word "negative"is the operative word here. there is nothing wrong with giving constructive critisizm and giving suggestions on what may have worked better. but... when you tell someone that their video is "lousy", that is just too harsh. every one of the videos are a winner in my book, because they are all each person's own vision. each and every entrant should be proud of what they have contributed. xoxo-vicki
VLPRESL, I agree with you completely. Everyone that submitted a video should be commended for all work and time that they committed to this. We should judge them by the quantity and not the quality.
pictureshows2, don't get me wrong, this IS a contest and the quality will be judged... but we are all kind of in this together in a way(for sam's song), and supporting one another(whether we have a video submitted or not) is a great thing, for sam, the song, and all his vlogpeople:-) xoxoxo-vicki
I guess I use the wrong choice of words. I was trying to say, that we should not critique someone's work totally based on appearance. I feel we should try to understand the meaning and the integrity of someone's work. Then give our comment. I would also like to say that you are a very positive and supporting person.
pictureshows2,"the meaning and integrity of someone's work"... that is so nice. i love that:-) thank you so much for the kind comment. i have met so many wonderful people on sam's youtube. i cherish the friends that i have made. sam's vlogpeople are amazing, and it really says something about sam because HE is the one that sets such a great example of kindness, compassion, great humor, and most important, "doing something wonderful for somebody". smiles to everyone... and thank you again:-)vicki
(continue 1)Negative comments are also good. They are a lot harder to accept and most of the time we are easily offended by them. Negative comments can be used as a learning tool; they can offer some insight on how we may improve on our videos. I guess we should stop and think before we post a comment, maybe we should express ourselves in a manner this is not so demeaning. Only the m4t can clarify if he is trying to be helpful or if he is being insensitive.
It appears that the messenger4truth as provoked some mixed feeling among this group. m4t has also passed judgment on my videos. I was also somewhat insulted by his condescending remarks; however it did make me stop and think how others may interpret my video. Good comments are always charming, they make us feel good and we like to read them. cont.
I enjoyed a more lighthearted video for a change. This is a good job. Interpreting a song through visuals is very personal and subjective. That is why this contest is so awesome!
I love this great video, troystar! Oh, yes,thanks for doing the instructional video. AND, especially for joining with other contestants in using your creative voice. I appreciate it.
Hey Troy! You put loads of time into this... excellent job! I like how you made it for the fun of it, and the love of the song; exactly my reason for submitting my little bit too. Everyone "wins" by being involved. :-)
making the EFFORT to submit a video is a wonderful thing. each and every one of these entries is remarkable in that it shows the different and unique way we interpret sam's wonderful song. it's one thing to point out helpful suggestions, and another thing to be downright mean. i'm thinking that sam didn't have this in mind when he asked us to make comments and give support. all my best to everyone. xoxo-vicki
you're welcome troystar:-) and don't forget... you also helped alot of people with your video on how to use the greenscreen. to me, this is what it's all about:-) xoxo-vicki
Peace! No more War! How ironic someone had to be negative. All of the videos are fabulous! These people put time and effort in their work as you did Vicki, I love all the videos and I was just flabbergasted that I got attacked for sticking up for someone! You don't have to be a professional just have the guts to put your video up there. I can't do it myself because I don't have the right software. I wouldn't do have as good as all you guys did anyway.

How is it that people can become offended so easily? I have given my honest opinion on every video that has been posted to date. In my profession, anything less than an honest critique would not be accepted. I believe people can handle honest criticism, and hopefully they can use it to improve their videos. People cannot improve if they do not realize that there is room for improvement. My video should be posted within two weeks. I hope everyone will leave honest critiques as I have.
You offend. That's how people can become offended so easily. You offended me for no reason. I only stated my opinion and that opinion was that he didn't have to be a professional and that you aren't the judges. Where does it say it's ok to critique anyone? Did anyone ask for your critique? I am not making a video, I'm just enjoying everyone else's videos and I don't feel the need to critique. I wish you well on this earth with the attitude you possess. blessings and Namaste'
BELOW IS ANOTHER COMMENT HE MADE ON HIS CHANNEL TO ME. NICE GUY HUH?
messenger4truth| May 28, 2008
I notice you have a bad habit of slandering me with accusations that better decribe you than me. I will not waste my time creating secondary youtube accounts just to humiliate you. I have a greater responsibility than you can possibly fathom. If it cost me a few friends along the way then so be it. You know, Jesus was not adored by everyone when he was born, he had enemies as well.

I like the originality and creativity of the video. However, being original is not the same as being good. In my opinion, the animation makes you look like an amatuer. On the flip side, my kids really enjoyed your video.
I'm really glad your kids enjoyed it, I wanted it light and not as doom and gloom. I wanted to have fun with the video and not do a literal translation of the song, I mentioned in the description that it was my first time using Adobe Premiere.
This contest was not indicated only for professionals. Your comment is not very fair. It's a great video and originality and creativity does count. You aren't in the judges heads. My opinion

I don't want to get in a contest with other posters. I just want you to notice... time and again.
(1) YouTube critics usally post no videos of their own.
(2) Accounts are days old. Obviously created for the sole reason of harassment.

It is possible to give an opinion without being rude! It's actually very easy to do. You should try it sometime.
